A listed location, missing ban, photograph or visitor report does not establish dog permission. Use the linked council, landowner or official visitor source and current entrance signs.

## Walking with your dog

- **Stay off nesting shingle:** The conservation partnership asks people to avoid shingle nesting areas during that season and keep dogs on a short lead. The marine protected-area designation does not itself prohibit a dog walk.
